FIL World Championships: Super Saturday Sells Out

Tickets to watch the World Lacrosse Championships this Saturday 17th July have sold out, a day before the competition has even started.

There will be no tickets available to purchase on the day for the Super Saturday which sees England take on Australia and one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament, USA versus Canada.Tickets for other days are also selling out fast. On Sunday 18th July England play Japan and Canada take on Australia plus there are group games taking place from 8.30am. England then face the competition favourites USA on Monday 19th.

To avoid disappointment fans are encouraged to buy online now rather than waiting until the day of the game.The opening match of the Championships is still uncertain as England’s opponent’s the Iroquois Nationals have still not arrived in Manchester.
The team was rejected from entering the UK, as the British consulate refused to acknowledge the team’s Haudenosaunee passports and has delayed issuing travel visas while awaiting assurance from the U.S. State Department that the group will be allowed back into the United States.The Iroquois Nationals are still aiming to make it to Manchester by tomorrow to face the host nation.

If they do not arrive in Manchester in time for the opening match, and no solution can be found to rearrange fixtures, then the Iroquois team will be forced to forfeit.Although tickets for Super Saturday have sold out, new media has made it possible to keep up with all the latest action from the Championships as matches will be streamed live on the internet.
